The Deadliest Favor - CBS Radio Mystery Theater

A fugitive takes shelter in a friend's house.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed.
The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by host E. G. Marshall who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of "The Man in Black" on yet another old time radio program, Suspense).

Just found this longer version. Maybe with some original commercials. Well good night 🌉😴 all from Kennewick Wa and thank you again for sharing these wonderful stories.

[@ginadew9180]

Now, wouldn't it have been great if I had discovered this channel during lockdown ... We had ridiculous lockdown in South Africa, and I cringe when I think of all the 'nonsense' I listened to. Thank you, BEEG time. Many blessings.

[@harperstacey9604]

Great episode. Listened on August 27, 2022. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

That was an amazingly good impersonation of Edward G Robinson. I felt sure the actor would slip eventually but if he ever did I never caught it.

[@davidarundel6187]

A good tale of suspense & with thrills. Thankyou for sharing. Namaste 🙏

[@jessemorrin2006]

Yes leave them.on nice to hear life when it was easy

"You just crossed the line". The dramatic feel of these types of shows is so funny. What's even funnier is the ads! I loved this. I've subbed and am looking forward to the next one! Thanks Chesterton Radio! Hi from Oz. 👇💜🙃

Go ahead, drink that Bud like a man. Down that bottle in two swallows. But you’re not done yet, no sir. That’s why Budweiser comes in convenient 24, 16oz bottles. Pick a dozen or three. When you say Budweiser, you said it all.

[@shellilogan771]

lol! when you drink budweiser? youll drink it all! lol my boy is home on military leave and ive usually got this program on and im singing to the commercials! hahaha hes not really paying attention untill im getting the words to the song down by heart then the most bewildered look on his face! we dont use cable tv so no commercials on what i usually stream so the ones on this program is like how the heck does she know the words!!! omj! to funny! i havnt yet told him i as a teen listened to this program quite a bit! i even remember the sale prices for ace hardware commercials! hahahaa hes no dummy hell catch on soon enough! moms doings just dont require his attention any more lol

[@laurenstygar7996]

Hey, this was killing and all for $10! "I'm worth more than that." thought she, next to a murderer. Nice story.

[@kimmccabe1422]

@Budweiser commercial- is it ok if a woman can tilt the glass and drink it down too

[@sheilahay3370]

Enjoyed the story line but you can tell it’s a few years old. Like you’d leave your husband on a whim like it described

[@dontaylor7315]

The idea is that "Killer Mike" is an unusually charismatic man. It's a little far-fetched and difficult to bring off plausibly, but in real life there actually are organized crime leaders with a talent for bringing people under their sway; after all, how else would they rise to such a position? Anyway either the script or the performances clearly didn't convince you, so the episode failed as far as you're concerned. As I said, such a premise isn't easy to bring off.

[@thebrainpimp136]

Keep the ads. We got time

[@nathanielrodriguez923]

No do not keep the adds some of us like only the good stuff without being interrupted by dumb Ness

[@cruisepaige]

Lysol in the wash?

[@candydale8380]

I use Lysol Laundry Sanitizer in the wash!

[@rosebud3971]

👍

[@robintomlinson9926]

So what happened to the wife? Did she get shot or killed in the crash?

[@denisenoe1534]

That's left ambiguous. She might have died next to Mike Perry or she might have been arrested.
